St. Paul's Cathedral

About

St Paul’s Cathedral is London’s most iconic landmark, soaring sky‑high with its 365‑foot dome and drawing millions of visitors each year. Rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of 1666, the cathedral has served as a venue for state occasions – from Princess Diana’s wedding to the funeral of Winston Churchill – while also offering free daily worship services that welcome all. For sightseers, a structured touring program transports visitors from the bustling Font at the west entrance, through the towering Whispering Gallery, to the stunning geometric staircase and the cathedral’s heart – the Triforium, which hosts a Nobel‑winning collection of paintings and historic fossils. Guided tours, ranging from a 20‑minute introduction to a full‑day 90‑minute walk, are available in a range of languages and often include multimedia guides. Families, history enthusiasts and solo travellers will find the subterranean crypt, with its impressive monuments and silent halls, a particularly moving experience. With a £26 adult ticket (or a £10 child ticket), or free admission for disabled visitors with a carer, there is an entry point for everyone.
